Coming to DC and Chicago in May
|
Can't Post

I'll be in DC May 19-21 and and then visiting Entmaiden in Chicago May 21-24. Entmaiden has suggested that we might make a pilgrimage to Marquette University for a day to see the Tolkien archives. I know there are quite a few TORnadoes in the area; anyone able to take off a day in the middle of the week to play? I'll have less free time in DC (there for a nephew's graduation from law school and to visit my new grand-nephew!) but maybe could have dinner.

I work in DC and live just outside of the city. Email me when you know more about your itinerary....

is to Wheaton College in the western suburbs. There's a bunch of Tolkien archives there, including the desk he used to write The Hobbit. Lots of CS Lewis archives, too. In addition to the Tolkien activities, Chicago is a great town to visit and late May is great for weather.

Sometimes, anyway. I will, in fact, be living there in late May. So keep us posted! I haven't actually ever been to either Wheaton or Marquette. Shame on me.

arriving DC afternoon of Friday May 18th, staying at the Bloomington Inn; Saturday is pretty free; Sunday is family thing (nephew graduating from Georgetown Law), then flying away Monday. Arriving Chicago noonish Monday May 21, staying at the Marriot on Michigan, leaving Thursday morning, putting myself entirely in Entmaiden's hands!

because we are the transportation to and from work for my son. I had somehow or other thought you were doing a weekend, but we'll need to try to make arrangements for him to his job.

...is a big Tolkien fan (I met her at the Marquette Conference). Her name is Laura Schmidt and be sure to contact her if you're considering visiting. She loves to see other Tolkien fans. If you can't get a work email contact for her (from the college's website somewhere) PM me and I'll give you her private email.

financial reasons force me to cancel this trip. Sorry, all.
